The construction and operation of a pressure tank suitable for experimental work on teleosts is described. The tank can be used to simulate depths down to 60 m. The design permits water to flow through the tank at all pressures in order to provide oxygen and remove metabolites but there is no increase in dissolved gases with increased pressure.
